Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe, founder of The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP announce that the firms are investigating legal claims against the officers and Board of Directors of AgFeed Industries, Inc. (“AgFeed” or “FEED”) (NASDAQ: FEED) related to potentially misleading statements issued by AgFeed between March 16, 2009 and August 2, 2011 (the “Class Period”).

It has been alleged that during the Class Period, FEED and certain of its officers and directors made materially false and misleading statements or failed to disclose material information related to AgFeed’s business and operations in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, it is claimed that FEED and the other defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose the following adverse facts: (i) AgFeed's collection efforts and credit dealings with its animal nutrition customers were not working because the "formula based analysis" AgFeed relied on in determining accounts receivable and reserves for doubtful accounts was flawed; (ii) allowances for doubtful accounts were undervalued; (iii) accounts were overvalued and bad debts were undervalued, causing reported asset values to be overstated and expenses to be understated; and (iv) as a result, AgFeed exaggerated its market edge creating an illusion of heightened profitability. It’s alleged that the defendants’ false statements cause FEED’s stock to trade at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.
